520 8  The past several decades have witnessed a rise in foreign 
       and domestic investments in Africa's arable land. While 
       such land projects are currently the focus of widespread 
       media and scholarly interest, the role of the state in 
       driving, negotiating and facilitating these acquisitions 
       deserves closer attention. This book analyzes how state 
       land policies, stakeholder interactions and privatization 
       schemes interact to facilitate large-scale land 
       acquisitions. It includes a study of the various forms of 
       state intervention, the influence of foreign agencies, 
       governments and private entities, and a look at how states
       interact with local populations. The inclusion of case 
       studies in settings throughout the African continent 
       should attract the interest of both an academic and non-
       academic readership.
